Oscar winner Julianne Moore, who won Best Actress for 2015's Still Alice, will take on the role of Steinem in a biopic based on the activist's recent memoir, My Life On The Road. The coming-of-age story will chronicle Steinem's experiences traveling to advocate for women's equality over the years. According to Deadline, Julie Taymor (Frida, Across the Universe) will direct from a script written by playwright Sarah Ruhl.

Though details about the film are scarce right now, with a power trio like this on board, the film is sure to be a success.
